Police investigating a shooting outside an East London restaurant during a New Year’s Eve party, which left a 23 year-old man with a chest injury, have made eight arrests.
Operation Trident detectives – who specialize in investigating violent black-on-black crime - are still appealing for witnesses to the 6:20am incident outside Olympia Eatery, (pictured) Upper Clapton Road on January 1.
The wounded man was lying outside nearby Hendale House, Northwold Road and rushed by ambulance to a local hospital where he remains in a stable condition.
He had attended the party, which attracted between 100 and 150 revellers, and was shot following a row outside involving thirty people. He was not involved in the altercation.
Eight men, aged between 18 and 22 years-old, were arrested the same day and bailed to return to a north London police station in late February.
During the course of the investigation officers seized a handgun from an address in Harrowgate Road, Homerton, which will be subjected to ballistic tests to determine whether the weapon was used in the shooting.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Trident shootings team on 020 8217 7377, or if you wish to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
